Laccases: Biological Functions, Molecular Structure and Industrial Applications (2007, background): “Reports on the presence of laccase in other plants are however limited to Acer pseudoplatanus, Pinus taeda, Aesculus parviflora and Populus eruamericana ( Mayer and Staples, 2002 ), though it is believed that they are present throughout the plant kingdom.”
Biological pretreatment of lignocelluloses with white-rot fungi and its applications: A review (2011, background): “…both phenolic and non-phenolic lignin related compounds as well as highly recalcitrant environmental pollutants makes these enzymes very useful for their application to several biotechnological processes (Mayer and Staples 2002; Minussi et al. 2002; Regalado et al. 2004; Couto and Herrera 2006).”
